What really happened to Jo Jo Dullard on that fateful night in 1995? Join us as we retrace the chilling story of her disappearance and reveal the latest developments in the case. Born in Cuffsgrange, Kilkenny, Jo Jo was known for her strong spirit and kind heart. But when she missed the last bus from Dublin to Kilkenny but after getting a bus to Naas, Co Kildare she made the fateful decision to hitchhike home.

Little did she know, it would be the last conversation she ever had. As we delve into the 27 years of heartache that followed Jo Jo's disappearance, we discuss the countless search efforts, what the witnesses said they saw and a slew of rumours and suspects that emerged over the years. From potential leads involving a solicitor in Dublin to a witness claiming to have seen a woman hitching in Castledermot, we discuss what Jojo did that day in the lead up to her disappearance and the extensive search efforts by the Gardai that ultimately yielded no results. In this gripping episode, we also explore the new investigation led by Superintendent Martin Walker and the hope that Jo Jo's family holds onto as they wait for the truth to finally come to light.
